Storage Plug Usage Tips • Firmness of ice cream depends on variables such as the recipe used, room temperature and temperature of ingredients before churn-freezing. • Remember that artificial sweetener can be used as a substitute for sugar. Only add artificial sweeteners to mixtures that are cold or have completely cooled. When a recipe calls for heating liquid to dilute sugar, omit the heating process and simply stir in the sweetener until it is well dissolved. 1 packet sweetner = 2 teaspoons (10 ml) sugar 6 packets = 1⁄4 cup (60 ml) 8 packets = 1⁄3 cup (80 ml) 12 packets = 1⁄2 cup (125 ml) • Some recipes require the mixture to be pre-cooked. Make the recipe at least one day ahead. This will allow the mixture to cool completely and increase volume. Pre-chilling the base mixture is strongly recommended. Never try to shortcut the cooling time. • If recipe exceeds the FILL LINE, ice cream will overflow the canister. 3
